Amazon Web Services is Coming to Town

Wednesday 20091125 7pm at hackerspace.sg, 70A Bussorah St.

Simone Brunozzi, AWS Evangelist, will introduce Amazon Web Services and share some juicy news about AWS's eagerly awaited 2010 availability in Singapore.

Please register at this page if you plan to attend. You can sign in using OpenID; no need to create account. If even that is too much hassle you can just fill in the form.

If you can't make it on Wednesday, he'll be at F11 on Thursday afternoon.

The hackerspace session will likely be more intimate and more technical, with discussion of Heroku, EngineYard, etc infrastructure.  After the talk, we'll probably break out into an open ended ad hoc AWS user group meeting with participant-driven hands-on demos.

Fee: no charge, but please throw a few dollars in the jar to help cover drinks from the bar.
